Challenge of the day!

hey @Teej

I put the picture on FB and someone said they are called "Vinca"

so now i will have to take a picture of a real weed

@Teej Great to see you more active online. Hugs.

Too pretty to be a weed @Shaz51 tho I know they can grow and grow.

How to define a weed ... ?? ... when you dont want it there.

Will come back later but to comment on others posts but just wanted to set

Post about your favourite children's book in anyway you like. It can be one you've read to children, your favourite book as a child or your inner child's favourite book.

I look forward to seeing them. I need to head to the shops for now.

Hi all,

@Former-Member @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Maggie @Ant7 @BlueBay @Owlunar @TAB @Lee82 @Exoplanet @eth @Bunniekins @CheerBear @Faith-and-Hope

and anyone reading.

I've tagged a few people who may not have seen this thread yet. @Teej has set three little challenges to help lift us out of our worries:

1. post a response to the idea of 'sky', e.g. a picture, some writing or anything else you wish.
2. dig a weed out of a potplant or garden and respond here about that in some way. Again it could be a picture, or anything else you wish.
3. Post about your favourite children's book in anyway you like. It can be one you've read to children, your favourite book as a child or your inner child's favourite book.

Pick one or do them all.

@Teej will post new challenges here from time to time.

Here are my responses to sky and weed:

Blurry weed like clover, 1 April 2020

This pretty weed, blurry in the centre right of the photo, grows fast and I've never felt that good digging it out because it's so delicate and beautiful. Here it is in a long planter box of succulents. I've now decided to let the lovely weed grow and accept it as a pretty part of my pot plant collection.

Sky, 1 April 2020

I can see a long, thin strip of sky from my back courtyard, between the balconies of the three-storey building we live in, and the ever-taller trees and rooftops of the next door flats. It's enough to feel like I'm in the outside world.

At night I have often looked at the stars and moon from out there, almost every night, give or take, for a long time. It's rarer for me to go out there during the day, but @Teej got me out there today.

Thanks so much for this thread, @Teej. I am struggling with a lot of anxiety at present, of the paralysing kind. You got me to do something creative. Even if I freeze up on future challenges, I appreciate this uplifting creative moment this morning.

@TeejI love this one.

This was my favourite book growing up. Was hard to decide, I still have all my books from my childhood.
